Grandpa Will had received a letter telling him that 'Babe' had broken his leg and was in the hospital.

Reed visited Butler and went to pay for the ad when he returned to Oregon.

Babe Dear Brother
I received your letter in regard to you being in Hospital. Am very sorry to hear of your bad luck. Hope you will soon be out and ready to come to Pennsylvania. I have been very busy since I got home helping the boys build their houses. We built three.
Reed Sutpline was here to see us late in fall. I gave him .58 cts to pay for an ad in the paper. He went to pay it and they said David Couch had paid it. So I am sending it to you. The Banks here don't take checks for less than $1.00 so you can either use it or give it back to him.
This leaves us all well and hoping you are still on the mend. Write us soon with best wishes from all 
Your Bro
